I Don't Know Why You Keep Me On

Nick Lowe

Intro: (x2) verse 1: Our perfect love has died You know this as well as I We've tried and tried and tried Now Its time to face up to it verse 2: One thing binds us still And that's a chain no-one can see To which you hold the key Here's the lock, Don't hold back The other day I found my wedding ring I'd clean forgot that I lost that thing The hurts here, The goods gone I don't know why you keep me on Same as Intro: verse 3: Desire's what made us fight All those times into the night Lord how we'd scratch and bite Now we don't even do that no more I'm not trying to buck the blame We both must shoulder that shame The hurts here, The goods gone I don't know why you keep me on Same as Intro: (x2) Every time, I try to picture your face Nowadays I see an empty space Tell me, are you blind and deaf Just what is it that you think is left? But hurt strong, And good gone I don't know why you keep me on I don't know why you keep me on Same as Intro: (x3)
